Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Bennet who shot Nathan...it would just make me sad. I do love him so. Really hoping--actually, pretty much assuming--he's got some badass alternate plan. Maybe in cahoots with Elle against Bob!

Though his scene with his family jarred me in many ways. Notice how there was not only no hugging, but he pretty much didn't even touch anyone? (zomg, He's the First!!!) And if they're supposed to go on pretending he's dead, why visit them in the first place?

Bye, West. Don't let the door hit ya.

Syalr will definitely want to eat Adam's brains--that's the talent he wants the mostest.

I am surprised Jeph Loeb, of all writers, had selective memory about Peter walking through walls. *eye roll to infinity*

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And if they're supposed to go on pretending he's dead, why visit them in the first place?

So they can stop being sad about him being dead?

Compassionately intolerant

"Off Veronica's face"

That there is talent

I noticed the same thing about no Bennett hugs, which seriously pinged me. I'll ease your deep but transient grief by showing up and then moving on so that you can spend the rest of your lives wondering where I am and grieving for my not!noble sacrifice.

He could easily have, I dunno, had someone lie for him to let the family know they would be safe but...I memfault who said it upthread...isn't he smarter than that? To assume any such deal would keep them safe with him not around is just uncharacteristically Mohinerish.

I was just in the Coffee Bean and, on the entertainment news ticker, the headline was, "Heroes Drops Some Dead Weight."

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

Now if they'd really killed Maya, I'd be all for the headline.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I noticed that headline too, Kristen, and was confused.

It's from E! news: [link]

Stupid headline, but not a bad article overall.

The backlash over season two's frailties, from the ridiculous amount of time spent following Hiro in medieval Japan to the unfulfilling romantic connection between Claire and West (Nicholas D'Agosto) to the pointlessness that is Peter's dialogue

Hee.

I am leaving. You are about to explode. ~Teal'c, 'Talion'

Sigh. Not enough dead weight dropped for me (die Sylar, die already. And take Maya with you, NO REALLY.)

And Nathan never was dead weight.

While Sylar was at times tiresome when he was with Maya y Alejandro, he's still pretty great with Mohinder, and I'm glad he finally has his damn powers back. I actually didn't like him shooting Maya, not because I didn't want Maya dead, but because it just felt...wrong and brutal, when Sylar generally has more flair. Shooting Maya like that makes him like any other cold-blooded killer.

I think they kinda turned him into no weight. When I saw him last night, my first thought was, "Nathan! How I've missed your face!"

My second thought was that he needed a haircut.
